Just as a piece of information, daylillies aren't actually native to North
America. They were first brought to England from China in 1575, and were
brought by the early colonists to the "New World" along with the lesser
loved dandelion. Both of which have naturalized famously.

Thanks for the information. I see them advertised in garden catalogs as
native daylillies, and I'll bet they don't know they are introduced either.
China must be a lot like here, eh? Lots of heavy clay? Anyway, thanks again!
